Why you shouldn't trust the reviews on speakers on Flipkart and snapdeal

Not all the reviews on speakers you find on these sites are trustworthy.
Most people who buy the 2.1 budget speakers dont know shit about speaker quality. If a bass is boomy they like it even if it might not be punchy or clear. Same with highs and mids and with the balance. I'd suggest not to rely entirely on the reviews you find there. Ive seen reviews saying iBall speakers are awesome and the best. Definitely not. 
Here is a few tips on how to judge the reviews:
-Good reviews most certainly will have more details than just "BOOMBASTIC" or "Powerbass".
If the reviews are just about bass , then be cautious. The mids and highs probably werent good enough to catch their attention. 
- Always look for comments on the balance between the woofer and the satellites. On many budget 2.1 speakers this balance is not good. Doesnt have to be perfect  , but atleast 'OK'
-If the rating is 5/5  beware. No budget speaker is flawless. Even mid priced speakers have some flaws.
-If the reviews say the speaker has decent bass ,decent' balance between the satellite and woofer, and smooth high and mid , then its possibly a decent speaker. Dont go for speakers with large subwoofer and small satellites. The balance will mostly be off. 
- When buying new brands which you havent heard directly , there is always a greater risk. Prefer to hear the speakers yourself from a friends house before you buy .
